What causes a solution to a rational equation to be an extraneous solution?

Extraneous solution:

An extraneous solution is a solution that arises from the solving process that is not really a solution at all

So, firstly we will solve for the equation

and then we verify each solutions by plugging them back

If denominator of rational equation becomes zero , then that solution must be extraneuous solution

For example:

\frac{1}{x+3} +\frac{2}{x} =-\frac{3}{x(x+3)}

we can solve for x

Multiply both sides by x(x+3)

\frac{1}{x+3}x\left(x+3\right)+\frac{2}{x}x\left(x+3\right)=-\frac{3}{x\left(x+3\right)}x\left(x+3\right)

now, we can simplify it

x+2\left(x+3\right)=-3

x+2x+6=-3

3x=-9

now, we can solve for x

x=-3

now, we can check whether x=-3 is extraneous solution

we will plug back x=-3 into original

\frac{1}{-3+3} +\frac{2}{-3} =-\frac{3}{-3(-3+3)}

\frac{1}{0} +\frac{2}{-3} =-\frac{3}{-3(0)}

we can see that denominator becomes 0

so, x=-3 can not be solution

so, x=-3 is extraneous solution...........Answer

U have a solid line...means there is an equal sign in the problem...so that eliminates 2 of them right away...so A and D are incorrect

it is shaded below the line....this means it is less then...that eliminates option C leaving u with only one answer choice

so ur answer is : B. y is less then or equal to x

Least to greatest 0.94,9.40,0.094,94.0,94.0

Here's an example number:
123.456
The place values are, from greatest to least:
The 1 is in the <em /><em>hundreds</em> place
The 2 is in the <em /><em>tens</em> place
The 3 is in the <em>ones</em> place
The 4 is in the <em>tenths</em> place
The 5 is in the <em>hundredths </em>place

If you have some number like 9.40 with no decimal point, shifting it will change the value. Moving the decimal one place to the right multiplies the value by ten. (94)
Moving it one place to the rigt divides it by ten. (0.94)

Here's our list from least to greatest:
94.0
9.40
0.94
0.094
